Raising Awareness for Survivors of Child Abuse and Neglect

On April 7, 2010, at 2 p.m. (eastern time), in commemoration of National Child Abuse Prevention Month, the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) in coordination with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention will present a Web Forum discussion with Anne Ream on best practices for raising awareness for survivors of child abuse and neglect. Ms. Ream is the founder of The Voices and Faces Project, a national documentary initiative to bring the testimony of sexual violence survivors to the attention of the public. She is the co-founder and Chief Creative Officer for Girl360.net, an empowerment project for tween girls; and a founding co-chair of CounterQuo, a national initiative to change legal and media responses to violence against women. Additionally, Ms. Ream serves on the advisory board of the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network and is a former co-chair of the Leadership Committee for Chicago’s Rape Victim Advocates.
